Q (1)
Evaluate each of the following and express with SI units having an appropriate prefix:

(a) (50 mN)(6 GN),

(b) (400 mm)(0.6 MN)2,

(c) 45 MN3/900 Gg.

Q (2)
Resolve the force given in the following figures along the line X and Y?
 Fx = …………. Fx = ………….
Fy = …………. Fy = ………….

Q (3) Determine the magnitude of the resultant force

acting on the screw eye and its direction measured
clockwise from the x-axis.

Q (4) The magnitude of the resultant force and its

direction measured counterclockwise from the positive x
axis.

Q (5) The force F= 900 N acts on the frame. Resolve this

force into components acting along members AB and AC,
and determine the magnitude of each component.

Q (6) Combine the two forces P and T, which act on the

fixed structure at B, into a single equivalent force R with
direction. Sketch diagram or FBD is required
Q (7) A barge is pulled by two tugboats. If the resultant of
the forces exerted by the tugboats is a 5000-lb force
directed along the axis of the barge, determine ( a ) the
tension in each of the ropes knowing that a 5 45°, ( b ) the
value of a for which the tension in rope 2 is minimum.

Q (8) Four forces act on bolt A as shown. Determine the

resultant of the forces on the bolt.
